Easy peasy

You will be surprised to know that growing vegetables can sometimes be as easy as this. My parents grow the Malabar Spinach vegetable in their backyard. After harvesting the leaves for eating, I poke the stems into a box of soil and now I have my own tiny patch growing in the patio. So simple!

I seem to get quite a few of the wild spinach growing in my garden. These must be the work of birds who leave their droppings behind. I'm not sure these can be eaten but I usually throw them out as they grow too quickly and become a nuisance.
